Chapter 436: Heavy Weapon

As long as you observe carefully, you will still find that Kaiyang Semiconductor is actually faintly on the abyss of squeezing toothpaste, and there is no two-year cycle of product update plan, which is more stable than Intel.

It was not until 2005 that Intel officially proposed the "Tick-Tock pendulum strategy", that is, according to Moore's law, an average of two years to update the process.

In odd-numbered years, next-generation process technologies are introduced, while in even-numbered years, new processor architectures are introduced.

It was from that time that Intel gradually wore the crown of toothpaste factory, although the name does not sound too good, but the market effect is good, and everyone eats this set.

Thanks to the existence of Wang Zhengguo, the boss of the board of directors, Kaiyang Semiconductor was naturally able to come into contact with the "Tick-Tock toothpaste strategy" in the early nineties, and after the test of time, this plan has gradually entered the right track and has been recognized by the majority of consumers.

The Kaiyang 615 processor updated in 92 still continues to use the 0.75 micron process technology, but the new generation of Kaiyang 915 processor will enter the mass production stage soon, and what kind of top performance level will the Kaiyang 915 with 0.5 micron process reach?

This may have to wait for the time to be tested, after all, no one can predict the prophet now, not even Wang Zhengguo.

But if anyone really thinks that the 0.5 micron process is the first to be used in the PC computer-level CPU, it is absolutely wrong, the real first product to use the 0.5 micron process is the CMOS optical sensor department, although only a small number of products have been produced, but the use is the top aerospace field.

After five years, the first reconnaissance satellite using CMOS optical sensors was officially finalized and began to enter the final assembly and production stage, and is expected to be launched around October 93.

Satellite code name "Pioneer 2", different from the return film camera, it belongs to the photoelectric imaging data transmission type census satellite, can not be limited by the number of films for all kinds of crazy shooting, whether it is "selfie candid shooting" is no problem, the time in orbit is calculated in years, and the previous film satellite in orbit working time in months and days is measured, the two are not the same order of magnitude at all.

In the upper plane, the first domestic photoelectric imaging data transmission census satellite, that is calculated to be at least 98 years before the era of China-Pakistan resource satellites, now this has been five years in advance, but there is not much difference in technology.

There are many devices on the Jianbing-2 satellite, but there are only three imaging devices that really play the core left and right.

It includes a CMOS linear scan pushbroom camera with a scanning width of 113 kilometers with a resolution of 20 meters, a four-band bidirectional swinging infrared multispectral scanner with a resolution of 80 meters in the visible, shortwave and infrared spectral bands, and a four-band bidirectional swing infrared multispectral scanner with a resolution of 160 meters and a scanning width of 120 kilometers in the 5 spectral bands of blue, green, red light, and near-infrared and panchromatic 5 bands with a resolution of 20 meters, and a two-band wide-field CMOS imager with a resolution of 260 meters and a scanning width of 900 kilometers.

In the imaging of these three core equipment, Kaiyang Semiconductor, Shuhang Optics, and Shudu Institute of Optics and Mechanics jointly won two CMOS original imaging equipment development projects, and even the spaceborne computer project was developed by 607.

The performance of the general-purpose airborne computer of the three armed services developed earlier is slightly backward, and it can no longer meet the large amount of image processor data of digital optical reconnaissance satellites, so the 607 Institute also made a ruthless move, directly taking out the CPU dual-channel technology developed earlier for Yaoguang Electronics, and then jointly developing a new space-grade graphics card with Kaiyang Semiconductor.

As a result, the general architecture of the spaceborne computer developed by the 607 Institute for this Jianbing-2 data transmission census satellite has come out: CPU dual-socket + GPU dual-graphics card firefight, and the whole performance is outrageously powerful.

Just a resource satellite project, it uses the top semiconductor integrated circuit technology in China, anyway, there is not much control over the cost, even if the yield of components and microprocessors is not high, but it is still not a problem, anyway, it is a pile of money.

An optical satellite can not only be an imaging device, but also a top-level optical lens in addition to data processing and transmission equipment.

And this involves the current expertise of Shudu Optical Machinery: adaptive optics!

This technology was chosen first, although adaptive optics equipment is expensive and cannot be used in ordinary camera equipment, but optical reconnaissance satellites do not have the above cost problems, so this thing must not be missing.

If you think about a camera working at an altitude of more than 700KM, it is extremely difficult to shoot a resolution scene of tens of meters on the ground, which brings the problem of wavefront distortion in the imaging process caused by atmospheric turbulence or other factors, which is the biggest difficulty affecting the imaging resolution.

Adaptive optics, which happens to be the best technology to compensate for wavefront distortion during imaging caused by atmospheric turbulence or other factors, is an absolute demand for high-end equipment, including optical imaging satellites.

Adaptive optical system is the best technology for correcting distortion of optical satellite lens, but this technology belongs to the forefront of the world, the top in China, even the aerospace department has no way to take it, so it can only be the entire satellite lens design and manufacturing work to be handed over to the Shudu Optical Machinery Institute to be responsible.

So, Shuhang Optics stood up again.

East Germany Jena Zeiss was also specialized in the Soviet military reconnaissance satellite did optical component processing, especially the fine grinding of large-diameter optical lenses, the technical background is incomparably rich, this time by Shuhang Optics to take the technology to the country, combined with a few years ago to get the artificial fluorite technology, directly approved to cooperate with the Shudu optical machine to develop this giant level optical lens.

In the optical industry, many bigwigs started as military optical equipment, Nikon of the book belongs to a typical (fuselage), Kodak (lens) in the United States is also a veteran of this kind, as for Zeiss and Hasselblad, these are frequent visitors who travel to space on rockets and space shuttles.

In a word, a camera manufacturer that has never made an aerospace-grade camera cannot be regarded as a complete camera manufacturer, and now Shuhang Optics is also rushing towards this road.

"Aerospace-grade military quality", this saying has been used by various ghost animal advertisements on TV more than ten years later, but the quality of the really high-end aerospace-grade military equipment is really awesome, and insiders also recognize it.

It took three years and cost 11 million yuan, and the final lens produced lived up to expectations, first of all, the weight reached an astonishing 168kg, the total length of the lens body was 1.56 meters, and the lens diameter soared to a super large aperture of 530mm.

A super big guy like this,There are not many countries in the world that can do it.,It's pretty awesome when a small book makes a SLR.,But let him make such a lens.,Just thinking about it hehe.。

This kind of big guy will be used in addition to the field of special optical equipment,It's not at all compatible with the field of ordinary cameras.,This kind of "super giant cannon" is no longer comparable to ordinary bird-fighting heads.,It's all a product of Star Wars.,And the little book obviously didn't get the qualification to participate in "Star Wars".

In order to complete this series of aerospace supporting projects, Shuhang Optics invested 12 points of effort, after the national project appropriation was completely insufficient, only to find out when the project was completed and liquidated, Shuhang even lost 5.4 million yuan in this project.

However, this kind of project has a great influence, and the positive effect on the brand image of Shuhang Optics is obvious, and the 5.4 million will be used as advertising expenses, and as long as the work is done well this time, there will definitely be more space-grade optical satellite projects in the follow-up.

Focusing on long-term investment, Shuhang is determined to become a world-class optoelectronic imaging equipment giant, which is the company's purpose that has not changed since its establishment.
